The excitement is infectious - the younger vampire smiles his crooked little smile as he's kissed.

"He said...that I'm braver than I think. That we've always been that way when things have gone wrong. And...and he asked me to take good care of you. But to let you take care of me, too. Not to be stubborn."

Leaning forward, he kisses Herbert, softly, sweetly.

"He also said to tell you...that he loves you, and he's sorry he made me scare you. He didn't mean to."
